Self-Help Groups

Posted on February 14, 2016

You may find it helpful to join a self-help group. These groups provide the mutual support of people who have all had similar experiences. For example, there are groups for people suffering from depression, grief, the trauma of sexual assault, eating disorders, and phobias (a phobia is an irrational, crippling fear of an object, animal or situation).

To find a local self-help group that can meet your needs, contact the Self-Help Resource Centre Info Line at 416-595-2882 or search their web directory at www.selfhelp.on.ca.
